The SMH has an article on ‘How well do you know your culcha’, which has a 20 point questionaire attempting to show how australian the reader is. Things such as asking the source for “How long can we look at each other down the barrel of a gun?”, “Who defeated whom in the final of Australian Idol in November, 2004” and “Whose kiss in a collapsed mineshaft was seen by 2.5 million Australians?”. Most people could not work out most of these apparently. I certainly did not manage to work out most of these.

I saw a great project which can read most proximity cards used for security purposes and play back the data on demand to open doors and the like. This just shows how insecure most of the cards actually are.

Finally, GoogleRunningLogs is a cute program that takes GPS logs and uploads them to a web site for use with GOOGLE… I might have to drag out a GPS and try this the next time I go running. Should be some fun.
